Factory batteries are top tier and get you around 1000 charges, typically about five years. After that the battery is around 65% health and time to change out.
Apple is no different from other manufacturers in that respect, maybe better quality cells than most. They suck at making those changeable, lately. 2011-2017 Macbook Air is about a 5 minute job. MacBook Pro from certain years you just want to throw it in a lake, or scrape glue for ages.
It runs fine, unless you load up on chrome tabs, or try to run pro apps. Itdoes basic photo editing and admin apps and phone holiday video editing just fine for average users. I have a lot of clients with 8GB M1 machines.

Housing is a right. It is a common responsibility, corporations are exempt from larger responsibilities like this, and whenever the barter zoning approach is used, like amenities for building rights, developers mostly fudge or shirk. They don’t care about that, they have one priority.
So yes, bring back the well-proven, successful economic stimulus and social stability of public housing, whether through a revitalized CMHC or more modern systems. Long history of mismanagement and successful management practices from around the world to draw from.
For those who don't understand, this is a Star Trek meme, about an episode where Picard has to learn to communicate with a people who only speak in memes, and the clanker universal translator can't handle it.
Interesting how petrostates wind up authoritarian, right? Even in Canada, the most right wing bootlickers are in Alberta.
I'm sure there are some interesting academic studies on that, historical connections and the political nature of extractive vs regenerative energy production.
So a war that boosts both oil and inflation plays into the fascist power grab globally.
Conservatives form kleptocracy, truth is a victim. Surprise!
